Several of my savegames have had an odd thing happen over the last week. After loading a savegame, several but not all of my ships that were in space had somehow aquired orders to fly to the other end of the galaxy, all converging on one point. It has happened several times in several different games. Normally I don't have that many ships out, but the most recent savegame was right in middle of a huge war. The effect is not pleasant. I have yet to return to that game because I dread all the clicking I will have to do to cancel the myriad of movement orders which seem to want to send 75% of my ships to the other end of a gigantic galaxy.
